News: Jessica Lange, Esta Noche, Adam Driver, New York Jets

CNN hosts hate group leader Peter Sprigg twice in as many hours. "This is so beyond offensive. If you are a person who has advocated for "change," criminalization, and the "exporting" of gay people, there is no chance that you are going to support any policy that makes life better for LGBT people and there is no question about why you are backing a bill that does the opposite. The fact that Mr. Sprigg has the record that he does isn't just part of the story—IT. IS. THE. STORY!"

The Vatican drinks more wine per person than anywhere else in the world: "The figures show that residents of the Vatican consume 74 litres of wine on average – roughly equivalent to 105 bottles over the course of a year. That’s around double the amount drunk by the average person in France or Italy as a whole, and triple the quantity consumed in the UK."

"Ex-gay" Michael Glatze apologizes for being hateful. "I want to say that I am sorry for the way that Jesus has been represented through some of my actions in recent years, as “a hateful bigot who hates gays.” That is not the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ."

Hugh Jackman is very excited about the new X-Men script. “To think that the seventh movie has this cast and this director, and I would say the best script of all of them, it’s pretty amazing,” Hugh continued. “That’s why I’m still here. I’m sure, by the way, that it won’t always be my decision to be here. At some point someone will close the door on me. That will happen. But for now I’m very happy.”

The Washington Blade's Chris Johnson profiles gay Maine gubernatorial candidate Mike Michaud: “That’s not why I ran for governor, because of my sexual orientation; it’s because I want to move Maine forward,” Michaud said. “But, quite frankly, if elected, it is historic, and I think it’ll also change the tone of the debate when you look at LGBT issues, not only in Maine, but throughout the country.”

San Francisco's gay nightclub Esta Noche has been sold: "The new owners take over next week, but will keep things the same for a while, in order for everyone to have some time to say goodbye. (New Mission businesses, please take note: this is how you help avoid a PR nightmare.) Then get ready for more craft cocktails and loungey vibes, Missionites! Ugh."

Comments

Mike Michaud is going to be the first gay guy elected governor without a doubt. It's funny that a tiny little state like Maine is such a leader on LGBT issues.

"That is not the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ"

Perhaps you should read Revelation. That's not a pretty picture.

I though Jessica changed her last name to Murphy?

Esta Noche was a hole. It was a good place to pick up a trick who would give you a social disease and steal your wallet.

The general boo hooing for Este Noche closing is likely heartfelt but mis-placed, because no one really supported the place. The tumbleweeds blow through there late nights during the week and it's 20 feet from a dive where people frequently get shot. Don't no owner got time to keep that kind of money pit going. Now, the weeping????

Speaking of tricks, Enchantra couldn't pick up a man if her life depended on it. And by her, I mean Rick. People tend to be turned off by self-loathing and racism. Which is why poor Rick's only source of social interaction is coming up with dozens of usernames to post negative and prejudice comments on this site.

Jessica Lange is fabulous!

RE: "Ex-gay" Michael Glatze apologizes for being hateful.

It’s not a matter of forgiving Michael Glatze. A snake bites and poisons because that is the nature of a snake, there is nothing to forgive or to hate in the snake but you should be wary of the snake and protect yourself from it.

Mr. Glatze’s Christianity proves that Jesus died in vain.
